As you reach for yet another celery stick, it’s understandable that enthusiasm for January’s good intentions are starting to wane a little. Around about now, the whole detox and diet thing can become extra challanging.
But we are here to save the day friends! Did you know that dark chocolate contains vitamins? – Yes vitamins!
Here are just some of the benefits of the vitamins that you will find in 100g dark chocolate (70-85% cocoa).
1 – FIBRE
11g fibre is in every 100g og dark chocolate. Fibre is great keeping your mood stable, your skin clear and your teeth strong.
2 – IRON
In those 100g og dark chocolate, you will also get 67% of the recommended daily allowence (RDA) for Iron.
Iron is great at speeding up wound healing, fighting hair loss, giving you energy and releiving menstrual symtoms.
3 – MAGNESIUM
Hiding in those 100g og loveliness, there are 58% of the RDA for Magnesium.
This vitamin helps you sleep better, aids in hydration, facilitates detoxification, and as it is necessary for the enzymes that regulate DNA replication and repair, it also prevents wrinkles – what’s not to like? 😉
4 – COPPER
89% of your RDA for Copper is in that 100g too!
As Copper helps with the formation of collagen it is also one that is important for preventing premature aging. It increases energy as it helps you absorb Iron (perfect that they are both in dark chocolate then!).
